How does it work?

There are two ways sound waves work to treat erectile dysfunction. One is that they directly stimulate the growth of new blood vessels leading to improved erectile function, the other is that they recruit stem cells, which help with the growth of new penile vascular tissue.

Who is it appropriate for?

Sarasota Healing Center’s Erectile Dysfunction Treatments are most effective in men with erectile dysfunction with a vascular cause for the dysfunction rather than a neurogenic (nerve injury) cause. Risk factors for vascular ED are high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, smoking, and aging. Nerve damage may be due to a spinal cord injury, prostate surgery, or other pelvic surgery.

What does Treatment Involve?

Soundwaves are applied to different treatment zones on the penis and the perineum using a small handheld device. The treatment is painless so anesthesia or other pain-relieving medications are not needed.  There are few side effects aside from mild skin redness. A course of treatment involves six fifteen-minute sessions in the clinic – two sessions per week for three weeks.

What effect might it have?

An improvement in erection quality occurs in most men. Erection hardness and duration of erection may improve. This may mean that men who had previously required oral tablets such as Viagra to generate an erection may not need to use medication. Studies suggest that the benefit lasts at least six months to one year. The treatment may be repeated.

In this systematic review and meta-analysis published in 2017, researchers analyzed the use of low-intensity extracorporeal shock wave therapy in seven randomized controlled trials, with a total of 602 patients. They found among men with an average age of 60.7 years and an average follow-up of 19.8 weeks that the International Index of Erectile Function scores significantly improved an average of 6.40 points from baseline in men receiving shock wave treatment, compared to an average of 1.65 points in those receiving sham therapy.
